p.3 #2 · Wide angle lens [ 10mm-40mm range ] | |
I had a friend loan me his 10-22, and I ended up purchasing the siggy. Granted the 10-22 is a wee bit faster, it's not $250 faster to me. I have had my siggy since august, and I love it. I find that the amount of distortion depends 100% on how I hold the camera in relation to an object. I can make the horizon look bent, or I can let it appear straight, I really like how it tends to distort the perspective making things close to the lens look huge and things further away look tiny.
While I don't agree with his overall review of the sigma, this link is a pretty good writeup on ultrawide lenses. My only concern is how long is the warranty on the siggies? I thought that it was only 1 year, but I have heard that it's 3 or 4.... regardless, I love the lens and can do a lot with it, here are some examples, you can check out my flickr account at www.flickr.com/photos/mtbtrials if you wanna try and suss out more of my sigma photos.
Canon 10-22 on the first three shots here, all three at 10mm...
Notice that this first one looks all out of wack because I took it from a low POV
This one looks fine (and the vingetting was added)
And this one looks weird when it comes to the car and the surroundings
The rest of these were shot with my siggy 10-20:
f4 @ 10mm
f7.1 @ 10mm
f5.6 (wide open) at 20mm
f5.6 @ 16mm
f9 @ 10mm
f16 @ 10mm
